ПРИВЕТ!!!!!!

Sorry that I wasn't able to update my blog for such a long time, but to be honest I was so amazed of my journey and the things which I saw, that I forgot to do it!!! But now I wanna show you my experiences as good as I can. But one by one....
After my last post I left to Volgograd, the town which had to agonise so much harm during the World War II. I visited their a really impressive museum, the motherland mother monument, I crossed the wogla river by ferry and I went of course to some pubs their.....sadly I could stay their only over the weekend and so I had to leave back to Voronezh early.....After some more nice days in Voronezh I left to Moscow, the capital of the biggest country in the world, the city which has such a long and amazing history. So many myth entwine around Moscow and I wanted to disclose as much as possible from them......After I arrived in one of the many trainstations I went straight to my friends place, to refresh myself before I explore the city. After I went at first to the red square and I recognized that the place is not red at all....I would say it is black or grey. But anyway the place is amazing and very beautiful.
After staying 1 hour on the square I went in the St. Basil's Cathedral (the colorful church on the red square)....at last at this day I circled the Kremlin and went the really famous street Arbat down......During the next days I visited as much as i could and so I went to the GUM-Store, to the All-Russia Exhibition, where I drove with the ferris wheel, I went in to the Kremlin and to many many many more things ....Just look at the pics!!!

I hope you enjoy the pics and the stories which I gave you about my russia trip....and I would be really happy if you visit my page again to see where I'll go next....I can promise you that it will be completly different but also amazing.....just come to my page when ever you want....


ПОКА, CHEERS Sofie

Arrived in a trainstation in Moscow.....so many people, incredible!!!!

THE RED SQUARE

the RED SQUARE, one of the most famous and most popular sights in Moscow and in Russia, but the square is not red at all.....actually it is dark grey.....in the background you see the Saint Basil's Cathedral and Spasskaya Tower of Moscow Kremlin. In the front of the tower you see Lenin's Mausoleum, where Lenin found his eternal resting place.

flying over the red sqaure.....what a fun

wonderful sunset....in the right background you can see the Ministry for Foreign Affairs

Shopping in ГУМ (GUM) Store!!!! So many Shops, you need more then a day to visit each shop!!

classic meets modern spirit

View from a ferris wheel over moscow..... in the background you see the "Ostankino Tower" which is around 540 meters high.... sadly i didn't have time to go up there, to enjoy the view...

The main building of the МГУ (MGU = Moscow State University)....moscow has 7 builidings of this shape, incredible architecture....OR?

This bell is the biggest bell in the world and has a weight of 200 tons.....sadly it didn't make one gong, because it broke when they built it.

The tsar canon is amazing huge and each bullet has a weight of one ton...

Voronezh and Volgograd

The last evening in Voronezh in a bowling centre....what a fun this game. i made also one strike...juhu...

On my last night in Voronezh i went with some of my friends to play bowling....after the game we continued our good bye celebration in a friends place....what we drunk and ate can you see at the next pic.

The last party before i left to Moscow....we drunk champagne, beer and of course a bit of vodka and we ate a lot of interesting things. Here you can see a really special cheese, which is really salty and really tasty.

Spring is also in Russia coming...and it was so nice to meet after that long winter finally some ancestors....i had a short chit-chat with them, before i continued my way.

Mother Motherland carried me a bit up the hill, because my little legs started to hurt by walking so long

In the background you can see already Родина-мать. The monument is bigger than the Statue of Liberty in New York and is situated at the highest point of volgograd. That point, where the hardest fights took place, before the 6th army was vanquished and Volgograd was finally save.

visiting the Родина-мать (Mother Motherland) monument, which is a big memorial for the Soviet victory against fascistic army in the II. World War.

Russia and also Voronezh is really famous for its colored and wonderful churches and so i and my friends tried to visit as much as possible from them....this is my favourite one in Voronezh what a nice blue!!!!!!

In the evening I went with some friends often to a pub, to drink чуть-чуть and to discuss a lot of things. Normally it got pretty late and it took quiet much time to recover from this nights...

on a swing....like usual my friends and me couldn't pass a playground without trying every toy there...so much fun

I'm in a russian secundary school, listening some practise lessons of my friend. I learnt really much about russian literature and the russian language there...i made after that lessons a really big progress in understanding russian literature and of course poems!!
